Adrian's pov My mom has been so concerned about my relationship with Amber recently and it still surprised me how she had kicked off her anger against her. Her once gold digger has become someone she always wanted to know her whereabouts. Since Amber left and gone to her grandma's place, she had been suggesting to me how my relationship with Amber would grow better and faster. Without actually saying it out, it's obvious that she has accepted Amber to be the mother of my unborn babies. “When is Amber coming here?” My mom asked. “Let me call her.”I took out my phone and dialed her number. “Sweetheart, how are you doing?” “I'm fine.” “I'm already missing you. When are you coming back?” I asked. “I will be there by 3pm. I want to help my grandma do some house chores.” From what she said, it meant that it would take about three hours before she would come back to the hospital. After the ending of the phone call, I told my mom what she said. She didn't say a word at firs
Jasper’s pov I have been sitting down on my hotel bed thinking how from placing my hands on Nora, extended to putting my hands on my waist. Out of nowhere, I found myself in her bathroom and she started bathing in my presence. It didn’t stop there, she asked me to help her take her bath and that was how we both found ourselves on her bed. Her virgina was so juicy and at the same time very tight as if she had never had sex before. When we woke up the next morning, she put all the blame on the alcoholic wine that we both took. Was it truly the wine that resulted in it? I don't think so. I can’t stop thinking of her. I haven't expressed myself to her. Would she get angry if I do so? Would I lose my contract I signed with her last night? The contract is very important. I need to tell and show to my parents that I can make it all alone without their influence or support. My thoughts were all about Nora. I told Nora that I was going home because I can’t resist the movement of her but
Author's pov Jasper stood as if he was dreaming and his eyes were on his dad and mum. He never thought in his imagination that he was going to meet his parents. Nora, at this moment, hasn't felt what Jasper was feeling. She thought this was a surprise package and she became the only one smiling at this tense moment. “Honey, what's going on?” Nora asked as she turned and saw angry looking faces of Jasper's parents. “Is this not Mrs Williams? The one you stood for at the court?” Jasper's mom said. Jasper saw disappointment on his parents’ faces, still, he needed to prove to them that this was what he wanted and there was nothing anyone could do about it. Before he could say something, his dad asked, “Where is Anna? Do you think we will leave you all alone? You are under our watch. Has your mind gone out of control and you prefer something older than you? After using you in court, she is still commanding you in real life.” “Don’t ever use such words on the woman I love. She is
Amber’s pov Everything that is happening to me right now has been the opposite of what my grandma has predicted. Why would she even think that Adrian will betray me for the love of his mom? The assurance Adrian gave me yesterday was very strong enough to keep our love very high. The person I have been so concerned that she doesn’t want this relationship has been seeing us together. Deep inside of me, I pray for the quick recovery of Mr Morgan. If eventually Adrian and I get married, I want his dad to be there. He was the reason I found my foot in his family. He turned my misfortune to joy. From giving me a love contract and just yesterday, he held the hands of Adrian and I together and told Adrian never to let our love slip off his hands. “Dad, I will always love Amber, even if it remains the last drop of my blood. I will love her to the end,” Adrian replied to his dad and it was in the middle of it that his mom entered the room. She only smiled at us even if she didn’t say anythi
Author’s pov Merit was in her white sports car and she was vibing and nodding her head to the music she was playing in her car. A few minutes ago, she had spoken on the phone with Adrian and she told Adrian that she was close to his house. “Please, I am on my way to my house now and it will take about twenty minutes,” Adrian replied to her. Merit wasn’t concerned if she was the one who got to Adrian’s house first. All she knew was that she was on a mission. A mission to present herself to Adrian in a way that he could easily speak out the way he feels about her. Her music stopped playing and this was how she connected it whenever a call was coming. It would first stop the music and when she looked at the dashboard of the car, she saw Mrs Morgan’s phone number. She picked up her call and said, “Hello Mrs Morgan, your son has called me and I am close to his house…” “Yes I know, but you don’t need to get to his house before he comes. I want you to delay a bit so that he will g
Author's pov It has been a great nightmare for Jasper and Nora since the day they left Jasper's parents. That encounter had wrecked their relationship to the point that Nora has refused to let Jasper into her house on that very day that the incident happened. “If not that you were the one who drove me here, I would have left you.” She said in great anger as she sat at the back seat of the car in front of Jasper's new house. During the trip home, she was accusing Jasper that he purposely brought her and embarrassed her. When they stopped at her house, she came out of the car and said, “In all my entire life, I have never been disgraced the way your parents did to me…” “I didn't know it was my parents I bought the house from.” Jasper has said these words before while in the car, but she raised her voice at him and when he said that statement again, she couldn't take it any longer and she shouted, “Out of my property or I will call the police.” She pointed at the ga
Merit’s pov Today marks the third day of my stay at Adrian’s house, yet the attention I anticipated has eluded me. Despite my attempts to catch his eye by revealing more of myself, his responses have been lukewarm. Each time he catches a glimpse, all I receive is, “Oh, I am sorry, I didn’t know you were dressing up,” before he quickly exits. Does he have any feelings for me at all? His actions don't show it. No sweet words, no hint of emotional care. What should I do? I sat on my bed that morning after a shower, wrapped in just a towel, feeling his absence keenly. Despite his lack of physical contact, my infatuation with him grows. This infatuation soared when his mother hinted that he fancies me. He is undeniably handsome. Yesterday, I made sure we took a photo together, a picture I now gaze at and kiss before sleep. As a new day dawns, I yearn to accompany him wherever he goes. Tired of his early departures and late returns, I ponder how to join him without raising suspicio
Author's pov Merit looked at herself in the mirror again and smiled. The few minutes looking at her herself in the mirror was enough for her to make up her mind on what to do. “If Adrian doesn't like me, I can't force him to do that. I have done what I think I needed to do so that he can know that I am available for him. Now that he deliberately ignored me, I will do what will make him very jealous and I will deliberately…” she immediately paused her thoughts when her phone started ringing. She turned and took her phone, and it was Adrian's mom who was calling. “Hello Mrs Morgan. Good morning…” “Good morning Merit! How are things going between you and my son? I spoke to him some minutes ago and he said it was so lovely. What does he mean by so lovely? Has he slept with you and you didn't tell me?” “What stops me from telling you? He should have told you how he had ignored me. Coming here is a waste of time. I have better things to do, but I abandoned them because of what yo
The hall was thick with tension as Mrs Morgan’s voice shook, her emotions barely in check. She stared at Adrian, her face full of confusion and frustration.“What kind of confession is this, on your wedding day? People are waiting!” Her voice was sharp, but beneath the anger was fear—fear of what was coming next.Adrian’s expression was cold and unyielding. He didn’t react as the guests whispered, casting curious and judgemental glances."Amber and I... we’re not blood-related." His voice cut through the murmurs, and the crowd instantly fell silent. He turned to his mother, the woman he had always trusted. "Who did you sleep with to have me?"Gasps rippled through the hall, and Mrs Morgan’s face turned pale as if all life had left her."Me?" She laughed, but it was hollow, full of disbelief. "You’re mad, Adrian! Is this your twisted confession?"Before she could continue, Adrian handed her an envelope, his fingers trembling slightly. "This is the DNA test. I ran it several times."Her
Amber's pov Did Adrian just say in his last statement that he will be spending a night with me here alone at the hotel? What does he want? He has so much emotion for me. Can't he control it? Despite suppressing my emotions for him, I still love him. I was still holding my phone when it rang again and it was Adrian. “Hello…” I said. “I'm still waiting for your address. I kept my promise. What are you waiting for? I'm ready to enter my car and drive out of the house. At this point, I was having one question in mind to ask him, but my tongue was too heavy to say it. “Are you coming here to…?” I stopped and thankfully he knew what I meant and he started laughing. “Your voice turned me on. It's not a matter of coming there or holding your precious fingers. I have something to tell you. We need to talk. I miss you and I want to have a nice time with my sister. Whatever angle you want it to be, I will be. But there is something I will never do, I will never force you against
Author’s pov Two white cars suddenly stopped in front of Amber’s grandma’s house and it was in the evening. The doors of the car at the back opened and Mrs Morgan and her friend, Merit’s mom came out of the car after the guards had opened the doors for them. They walked majestical towards the front door and one of the men guarding them knocked on the door. The first person that came out to open the door was a lady, one of those ladies that assisted Amber’s grandma. “Are you related to Amber?” Mrs Morgan asked with a cruel voice, putting great fear into the young lady. “No, I am here to do some housekeeping.” “Where is Amber’s grandma?” This time, it was Nora that asked this question. “She is inside,” she slightly trembled and went inside. They stood at the door post and when Amber’s grandma came out, her age demanded respect and in turn, she welcomed them by saying, “What are my guests doing at the mouth of the door? Please come inside.”Nora wanted to reject the offer of
Amber's pov Adrian walked up to me while I was in the room. Then he said, “I just received a call from the laboratory and they have informed me that the result is out.” My heart raced as we both stood at the edge of uncertainty. We neither know if it will be positive or negative. The laboratory center we went to was one of the sophisticated centers in the country. They were equipped with modern technologies. So, any test that was done there was often done with different testing techniques. “Will you inform your dad?” I asked as my voice started to crack out of tension. I felt more panicked than anything I have had in my entire life. It drew a line of separation between Adrian and I. I love Adrian and nothing apart from blood related could stop us from being together. “Get dressed, we need to go and collect the result.” Adrian said and kissed my forehead. I went to my wardrobe and by this time, I had already taken my bath. What will I wear? Does this occasion require speci
Author's pov “Flora, when are you going to inform Dora about your new plan?” Nora asked. They were outside, under a well spread white umbrella at Nora's house. “I will tell her once my son gives me a meaningful answer. Since I told her about my plan, he said he would get back to me. I love Dora and I want her to be part of my family.” Nora took a sip from her glass of blue wine and after she carefully placed the cup on the table, he said, “Your husband's infidelity has become a blessing in disguise. If your husband hasn't cheated on you, you wouldn't be able to achieve or say what you are demanding.” Flora shrugged and sighed. “He disappointed me. I could swear that he can't do something like that. If I had listened to my thoughts, I would have found out before now. I saw their closeness and I wondered what was happening. My husband Mut had known that Amber was his daughter. I am thinking he knew about it when he was sick at the hospital.” “Flora, that reminds me, what
Amber's pov When I held the lab report in my hands and carefully read the result word for word, I was astounded to see that Mr Morgan is my biological father. How come? Is there anything my grandma is hiding from me or my late mom is hiding from me? I didn't know what to think about? This information has thrown me upside down. I didn't know where to place my thoughts. If my grandma knew about it, why had she not told me all this while? Does that mean that Adrian is my half-brother? I came down from the cab and walked into the house and I felt like an ordinary paper that the wind could blow off. “Grandma,” I paused as I saw her picking up her phone call. I was so deep in thought that I didn't pay attention to my grandma's conversation over the phone. “Amber!” She called and I turned my eyes towards her. “Why are you looking at me like this? Has…” “Grandma, do you really know my dad?” “Your dad? You mean your late date?” She asked. “Yes. What about my mom? Do you
Author's pov “Why did you lie to me that I will leave here today?” Mrs Morgan said angrily and it was only her friend that was in her room. She had been hostile with her words, and even more angry when she saw Amber. “That was what the doctor said initially.” Then the ringing of Mrs Morgan's phone stopped her friend from speaking. “Your husband is calling you.” “I can't speak to someone that I'm angry at.” Flora said to her friend. “We only have one night to stay at the hospital. It's for your own good. At home in Mr Morgan's house, he was very worried. He had been calling his wife, but she had refused to pick up her call. Mr Morgan was first in his new room downstairs. He had been told by the doctors not to stress himself. So climbing the stairs was seen as stress. He walked out of his room and came to his private sitting room. The first time his eyes saw was the wall clock. “It's about 7pm and my wife has refused to pick up my call. Is there something that everyone is
Author's pov When the lab scientist said, “congratulations…” Mrs Morgan's heart raced as she didn't know why he was congratulating her. Does he know why she came to do the paternity test initially? He doesn't know, so when he said congratulations, Mrs Morgan was confused. Instead of saying it verbally at first, the man handed her the result on an envelope. “Congratulations on what?” She could still remember these words as the last moment and when the lab scientist said, “Mr Morgan is the father of your daughter.” Mrs Morgan lost it and she fell unconscious. “Doctor!” Nora, her close friend shouted. The lab scientist and Nora rushed her into one of the wards and they immediately started to resuscitate her. “Flora!” Nora shouted as one of the nurses told her to leave the room. The envelope was in Nora's hands as she came out of the room and stayed outside. “Oh my god, please Flora, you need to wake up. Who will I call now?” She asked herself. “I need to tell…” she pause
Author's pov “Has she picked up your call?” Merit asked her mum as she came back to the sitting room and her mother’s phone was still in her hand. “Hmmm…I can’t say she has answered me. She only told me she will get back to me.” Mrs Williams raised her face and looked at her daughter, who was putting on a very short skirt and a white top. It was in the evening and through the window, they could see the sun settling down. “How long will she get back to you?” She spoke with so much anger and after pacing the right side of the sitting room, she stopped and stood behind one of the couches. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Her mom asked, as Merit’s anger could be seen all over her body. “If you were very serious with what I told you, you would have expressed your anger towards her. How will she disgrace me in front of Adrian and her girlfriend? It’s so embarrassing.” “Are you sure Mrs Morgan did the things you have told me?” “She cannot deny it.” “When all of this wa
